Re: Non-com quarters
Irina lay down on the bed. She took the pillow, and curling up around it. With her head nuzzled in the soft folds she sighed contentedly. Her posture combined with her small stature meant she only took up the top half of the bed. Laying there Irina found herself staring up at Justice. Her eyes softened a little as she watched him suffer thought the pain. "It can be very bad when you strain that particular part. Maybe you should see doctor?" She suggested.
"I too didn't meet my first angel until after I joined the ESN. They where not very popular in Russian. Always we talked about what they had done to us. What they were still doing to us. How it was all their fault," Irina said in a dark, and brooding tone. "Truth is they have a lot to answer for, but we Russians have a few wrongs of our own. I mean even after everything we've learned. There are still those of us so blinded by hate we can't see the demons for the danger they are. When I realized that it stopped being they, and started being he, or she. They aren't bad, because he, or she make mistakes. That goes for us, and them. True with some species you have to wade through more shit to find the good than with others."
Without thinking Irina reached for the data pad with her right hand. When the error dawned on her she looked away, and tucked her right arm under the pillow. Then she took the data pad, and held it close as she studied the pictures. "I think I understand now why you are named Justice Lanceheart. It is... unconventional name. It makes sense that your mother would also be unconventional," Irina said as she handed back the data pad.
"I do have family. Here," Irina said as she lay her left leg in Justice's lap. On her leg was a portrait of a woman, and a young man. The edges had been done to make it look like the portrait was tearing itself out of her flesh, and the words любви вечной had been written in an elegant script along the bottom. "My mother Ivanova, and my brother Alexei. They're both still back on Earth. We talk when we can, but over such distances it can be hard," She said her gaze drifting up to the ceiling. "I didn't know my father well, but given how he's doing life without the possibility for parole. It's probably for the best, da?" While the portrait occupied a clearly defined space, the skin around it was a different story. It was littered with Savage, and rowdy tattoos that almost seemed like they where jostling with it's neighbors for space. Among them One in particular stood out. A solitary pink, and white unicorn. It was just above her ankle, and on close inspection Justice could see the lines where rough, the color more uneven then those around it.
